Meanwhile, a table is presented showing how top producers fare when the allowances are subtracted.

Several tables are presented that list statistical information on the market share, sales growth, gross profit margin, and profit summary of various bed and bedding companies in Great Britain, including Dreams PLC, Silentnight Holdings Ltd., and Famco Holdings Ltd.
